Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps

4 large Boston Lettuce Leaves
1-2 Chicken breasts
1 Tbls or so Grill seasoning (I use Kroger brand)
1 Cup Mayo
1/2 cup red grapes halved
1/4 cup diced apples (I used honey crisp)
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup matchstick carrots
Olive oil

Mix a couple tablespoons of good Olive oil with grill seasoning and brush on chicken breasts while grilling. You can also grill chicken breasts in foil packets drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with grill seasoning. remove from grill and cool, you can out in the refrigerator if you want it quicker. While chicken is cooling mix mayonnaise, grapes, apples, sunflower seeds, and carrots in a glass bowl. Cut cooled chicken into small cubes and add to bowl and mix well. Spoon Chicken salad onto each piece of lettuce.
